Cardiff v Sunderland

by Timothy Masters

Cardiff take on Sunderland on Saturday 13th January, 2017, with kickoff at 12:30. This match is currently being shown LIVE on Sky Sports.

Sunderland are on a terrible run of form, with new manager Chris Coleman doing his best to swagger around like a constipated mafioso, but not being able to turn that into success yet. Walking away from the best team Wales have had in decades for this probably doesn’t feel that great right now, but his pay will have increased at least, and most Sunderland bosses get a payoff too.

Cardiff are at the top but equally not showing much in terms of form, so this could be a race to the bottom, metaphorically at least, as both sides are capable of heavy losses.
